[PATCH v2] spi: intel: Update help text of PCI and Platform drivers

[Mauro Lima <mauro.lima@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Modern intel hardware uses controllers that work in hardware
sequencing mode. In this mode, the controller exposes a subset
of operations, like read, write and erase, making it easier
and less error-prone for use.
On the other hand, most of the controllers handled by the
platform driver use software sequencing that exposes the
entire set of operations i.e. exposes the low level SPI-NOR
opcodes to the software for use.
Update PCI and Platform help text with this information.

 For the record of the base commit:

 Given that the PCI driver handles controllers that only work with
 hardware sequencing, we can remove the dangerous tag.
 This patch is the second part of Mika's suggestion [1].
 The first part was accepted in [2].

 This patch continues the work addressing the comments in the previous
 patch adding information about hardware and software sequencing.
